What are wetlands ?
The general term "wetlands" describe
a variety of ecosystems, including
forest swamps, fresh and salt-water
marshes, fens, and bogs and wet
meadows. Wetlands
are transitional areas between open
water and dry land, making them
unique habitats for a variety of
fish and wildlife. Wetlands that
are commonly found
along rivers, streams, brooks, ponds,
lakes and the ocean are easy for
most people to recognize in this
format.
Wetlands also occur where water is found at or near the ground surface, or in places where the ground is covered by shallow water ranging from a few inches to several feet.
Wetlands are not necessarily wet all year - some are known to be dry during certain seasons, especially late summer, For this reason, the casual observer may not recognize or correctly identify wetlands.
Wetland Regulations and you.
A number of federal, state and local
wetland regulations apply to activities
conducted in wetlands. In the case
of state and local wetland regulations,
a "buffer zone" can extend for a
distance of up to 100 feet up-gradient.
In both cases a permit is required
for activities in either the wetlands
or the
buffer zone.
Failure to comply with the wetland regulations could mean a substantial penalty or other sanctions.
